Luggage compartment
General information
All pieces of luggage or objects must be securely
fastened in the luggage compartment. Note the
following to maintain good vehicle handling:
> Distribute the load evenly in the luggage com-
partment.
> Stow heavy luggage as far forward in the lug-
gage compartment as possible.
» Use non-elastic cords attached to the tie-downs
to secure objects.

Z\ WARNING
— Loose objects can be thrown around the ve-
hicle interior during sudden driving or brak-
ing maneuvers, which increases the risk of
an accident. Always stow objects securely in
the luggage compartment and secure them
at the tie-downs. Use straps suitable for
heavy objects.
— If pieces of luggage or objects are secured
to the tie-downs with unsuitable or dam-
aged straps, this can increase the risk of in-
jury during braking maneuvers or accidents.
— When transporting heavy objects, the vehi-
cle characteristics will change due to the
shift in the center of gravity, which increases
the risk of an accident. You may need to
adapt your driving style and speed to the
current conditions.
— The cargo net is only strong enough to se-
cure light objects. Heavy objects are not ade-
quately secured. Attempting to secure heavy
objects increases the risk of injury.
— Never exceed the permitted axle and load
and vehicle weight > page 286.
— Never secure a child safety seat to the tie-
downs.
— Never leave your vehicle unattended, espe-
cially if the luggage compartment lid is
open. Children could enter the luggage com-
partment and close the luggage compart-
ment lid from the inside. This creates the
risk of fatal injury, since the children would
be locked in and may not be able to escape
by themselves.

sO

— Do not allow children to play in or on the ve-
hicle. Close and lock the luggage compart-
ment lid as well as all other doors when you
leave the vehicle.
— Never transport passengers in the luggage
compartment. Every passenger must be cor-
rectly secured with the safety belts in the
vehicle > page 182.
() Note
Make sure that the heating grid strips for the
rear window defogger are not damaged by
abrasive objects.
G) Tips
— The tire pressure must be adapted to the
load > page 250.
— You can purchase straps at specialty stores.

Warm and cold

Warm and cold
Climate control system
The climate control system warms, cools and re-
moves humidity from the air in the vehicle interi-
or. It functions most effectively when the win-
dows are closed. If there is a build-up of heat in-
side the vehicle, ventilation can help to speed up
the cooling process.
Pollutant filter
The pollutant filter removes pollutants such as
dust and pollen from the air.
Key recognition
Certain settings are automatically stored and as-
signed to the remote control key being used.

ZA WARNING
Poor visibility can lead to accidents.
— For safer driving, keep all windows free of
ice, snow and fog.
— Become familiar as quickly as possible with
the correct use and function of the climate
control system, especially with the defrost-
ing and defogging function.
— When the temperature is below freezing,
only use the windshield washer system after
the
windshield has been warmed by the cli-
mate control system. The washer fluid could
freeze on the windshield and impair visibili-
ty.
@) Note
— If you suspect that the climate control sys-
tem is damaged, switch the system off to
52
prevent further damage and have it checked
by an authorized Audi dealer or authorized
Audi Service Facility.
— Repairs to the Audi climate control system
require special technical knowledge and
special tools. Have it inspected by an au-
thorized Audi dealership or a qualified elec-
tronics store.
(@) For the sake of the environment
Reducing the amount of fuel used also re-
duces the amount of pollutants that enter the
alr.
G) Tips
—To prevent interference with the heating
and cooling output and to prevent the win-
dows from fogging over, the air intake in
front of the windshield must be free of ice,
snow, or leaves.
— Condensation from the cooling system can
drip and form a puddle of water under the
vehicle. This is normal and does not mean
there is a leak.
— The energy management system may tem-
porarily switch off certain functions, such as
the seat heating* or rear window defogger.
These systems are available again as soon as
the energy supply has been restored.
— The flows through the vents under the rear
window. Make sure the openings are not
covered when placing clothing on the lug-
gage compartment cover.

Fig. 59 Automatic climate control system: controls
You can control the functions through the dial,
buttons in the dial and the buttons. Press the
buttons to turn the functions on or off. The LED
in a button will light up when the function is
switched on.
Pressing the AUTO button and setting the tem-
perature to 72 °F (22 °C) is recommended. The
automatic climate control system automatically
maintains a temperature once it has been set.
The air temperature coming from the vents, the
blower speed, and the air distribution are also
automatically adjusted. In all heating mode func-
tions except defrost, the blower only switches to
a higher speed once the engine coolant has
reached a certain temperature.
8 Blower
The blower speed can be adjusted in small incre-
ments using the dial (@). The blower should al-
ways run at a low setting to prevent the windows
from fogging and to ensure a continuous ex-
change of air inside the vehicle. You can adjust
the volume of air generated by the blower to your
preference. To have the blower regulated auto-
matically, press the AUTO button.
A/C Cooling mode
You can turn the cooling system on or off by
pressing the A/C button. The air is not cooled and
humidity is not removed when cooling mode is
BFV-0218
switched off. This can cause fog on the windows.
Cooling mode switches off automatically when
the outside temperature is below zero.
@ / @ Temperature
The temperature can be adjusted in small incre-
ments using the dial (2).
AUTO Automatic mode
The AUTO button turns on automatic mode. AU-
TO mode switches off once a button in the cli-
mate control system is pressed. Automatic mode
maintains a constant temperature inside the ve-
hicle. Air temperature, airflow and air distribu-
tion are controlled automatically.
Air distribution
The air distribution can be adjusted with the con-
trol @). To have the air distribution regulated au-
tomatically, press the AUTO button.
The round air vents in the cockpit are adjustable
=> page 54.
To keep the front side windows from fogging up
in damp weather, we recommend opening the
side air vents and tilting them to the side.
<> Recirculation mode
The recirculation mode can be turned on manual-
ly or automatically*.

Warm and cold

— Switching manual recirculation mode on and
off: Press the > button.
— Automatic* recirculation mode: auto recircula-
tion needs to be activated in the Infotainment
system. Select in the Infotainment system:
[MENU] button > Vehicle > left control button >
Vehicle settings > Air conditioning > Auto re-
circulation. The air quality sensor that is de-
signed for diesel and gasoline exhaust auto-
matically switches the recirculation mode on or
off depending on the level of pollutants in the
outside air.

In recirculation mode, the air inside the vehicle is
circulated and filtered. This prevents the unfil-
tered air outside the vehicle from entering the
vehicle interior. Switching recirculation mode on
when driving through a tunnel or when sitting in
traffic is recommended > A.
Pressing the <> button, AUTO or the & button
switches recirculation mode off.
® Defrosting
The windshield and side windows are defrosted
or cleared of condensation as quickly as possible.
The optimum amount of air flows mainly out of
the vents under the windshield. Recirculation
mode switches off. The temperature is controlled
automatically.
The AUTO button switches the defroster off.
{ Rear window defogger
If the rear window defogger is activated when
the ignition is switched on, the battery manage-
ment determines based on the battery charge if
it is possible to turn on. Otherwise, the rear win-
dow defogger functions with the engine running
and switches off automatically after approxi-
mately 10 - 20 minutes, depending on the out-
side temperature.
To prevent the rear window defogger from
switching off automatically, press and hold the
® button for more than two seconds. This re-
mains stored up to approximately 15 minutes af-
ter turning off the ignition.

Z\ WARNING
You should not use the recirculation mode for
an extended period since no fresh air is drawn
in. With the air-conditioning switched off, the
windows can fog up, which increases the risk
of an accident.
